Victorian BD&M Lookup Please

[Abbyrose]

I was wondering whether you might be able to help me with information on any of the following:

Ellen Stephens (middle name possibly Elizabeth)
Born Sandhurst, Victoria (possibly 8/3/1875)
Father possibly Frederick

Hewin Cameron Armstrong
Born about 1890, Victoria
Father James Armstrong
Mother Sarah McLean

Thanks for your help

Thanks again OzyBob, but once again, I don't think this is the right information for my Ellen Stephens.  She was 18 at the time of her marriage in 1895, so I have calculated her birth year as around 1876 or 1877.  Even though her marriage certificate states that she was born in Sandhurst, Victoria, I guess this could be wrong?!!!  Would you suggest any alternative ways of checking, ie would there be anymore information on the birth certificates of her children or on her death certificate?  Maybe she was born in South Australia - where she was married?  Any suggestions you may have to help me resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Abby

I have found the names Helen/Ellen to be somewhat interchangeable. There is the following Helen Stevens on the AVRI

Born 1876, reference 5198  Father Frederick, Mother Grace Pascoe Place Sa Nd  Victoria  -  which could be Sand  (Sandhurst  )

Hi Trish
Well, this sounds a bit more promising!!  I have had difficulty ascertaining whether Stephens is spelt Stephens or Stevens as on the marriage certificate Ellen has signed her name Ellen Stephens however on the birth certificate for my grandfather the person who completed the official certificate has written her name as Stevens.  So, I guess it is possible that this is the correct person.  Does the AVRI give an actual birthdate?

Sorry Jenn
You did provide me with this info - I apologise for overlooking this.
It is all a bit confusing with the different spellings of Stephens - not sure where I am and what is right or wrong - but I guess that is what genealogy is all about!!
Thanks
